Eating Healthy for Weight Loss

The role of nutrition cannot be overstated in the quest for a healthier lifestyle and shedding those extra pounds, what we put into our bodies plays an important role in achieving weight loss goals. Here are the healthy eating habits you MUST not negotiate with during the #getfitnewyearbody Challenge: 

 

What to Embrace:

1. Whole Foods: Incorporate plenty of whole, unprocessed foods like fruits, vegetables, whole grains, lean proteins, and healthy fats into your diet. These provide essential nutrients and fiber, keeping you full and satisfied.

2. Portion Control: Be mindful of portion sizes, even with healthy foods. Moderation is key. 

3. Healthy Fats: include healthy sources of healthy fats like avocados, nuts, seeds, and olive oil in your diet. These fats support satiety and help absorb essential vitamins.

4. Hydration: Stay hydrated by drinking plenty of water. Sometimes our bodies mistake thirst for hunger, so keeping hydrated can help manage unnecessary snacking.

 

What to Avoid:

1. Processed Foods: Minimize intake of processed and ultra-processed foods. These items often contain added sugars, unhealthy fats, and preservatives, contributing to weight gain.

2. Sugary Beverages: Say no to Soda and all sugary drinks not even for “Cheat”, they are very high in empty calories.

3. Trans Fats and Saturated Fats: Limit foods high in trans fats and saturated fats, such as fried foods, pastries, and fatty cuts of meat. These can increase bad cholesterol levels and pose health risks.
